Mini Lego doll

Feeling tired and exhausted after a whole night of nonstop attending and treating patients when Kaye look at the time on her watch she can't help but grunts.. It's already 8 o'clock in the morning. She drags her exhausted body in the corner where the vending machine is. She sat on one of the benches and stretched her tired body before she closed her eyes. Not long after a warm thing press lightly on her cheek makes her open her heavy eyes again.

"Here.. You're working so hard since yesterday. Have you at least eat something?" A man wearing a robe like her reach him a warm choco.

She accepts it. "Thank you." she said with a faint smile.

The man sits beside her. "You're working too much. As a doctor yourself you know very well that overwork is not good for the body." He said gently. There's a hint of concern in his tone.

She sipped her drink first before answering. "I know but you also know that this is the nature of our job. We can't complain nor ignore those people who needs our help."

"You have a point in there but what I'm saying is.. You don't have to always filled someone responsibility or incompetency. I know you just tried to help but what about you? Your body? Everyone here take their time to rest but you. Did you at least try to take a rest even for a bit?"

"Oh.. I did---"

"How long? 5 minutes?"

She didn't answer. She knew it was useless to argue with him since he knows her well. The man stood up after he didn't hear her answer.

"Go get some sleep in the sleeping quarters or in my office.You still welcome there you know." He paused for a while and look at the time on his wrist watch. "We still have 3 more hours before our next operation. You need to rest so you can perform well later. I will tell everyone not to disturb you until the time of operation so make sure you rest well." He started to walk away slowly. "I may not your husband anymore but I'm still your senior so that's an order. Be sure to obey me." Then he continues to walk away.

Kaye let out a heavy sigh when the man is gone. It's been 6 months when she and Peterson got divorced. Thankfully they end up well. They're not that close as before but at least they don't need to act like they don't know each other. She put her two hands around the warm cup and bring it to her lips but didn't drink it. She just wants to feel the hot steam coming from the cup. She stays there for a little while longer then decided to go and take some rest as he said. She didn't go to his office like he offered or in the sleeping quarters. Instead she dragged her body to one of her friend's office.

Calvin is busy working on his laptop when he heard a sound of heavy footsteps coming towards his direction. He hates it when someone making noise while he's working. He lifts up his head to see who's making the noise just to be confused to his surroundings. Right!! He totally forgot he's not in his office right now. His Mother called him this morning to check his brother in his workplace since the idiot didn't come home even though he's on vacation. His Mom asked him to bring his brother home today for the family gathering later. Knowing that idiot will not go straight by just word he decides to come and bring him home personally. He already sent him messages that he's here and waiting for her at the lobby. But his idiot brother didn't reply to him. So while he's waiting he took out his laptop and do his work there and totally forgot everything as he started to work.

He looks around. He forgot how long he's been sitting here while working. He's gaze land on the lady who's walking toward his direction. She looks so tired and exhausted. [She's probably a doctor based on her uniform.] He subconsciously said quietly in his mind. He doesn't know why he can't move his eyes away from her. There's something familiar with her yrt he can't point it out. He just watch every move she makes. When the lady sat on one of the benches across to him with thud he can't help but frown. [So unlady like.. Can she just sit slowly?] He scoffed in his mind. But when he saw her stretch her body lazily he pointed out she's really tired as she leaned her back comfortably on the bench and close her eyes.

He's about to start again his work when a guy wearing a doctor robe come near to the lady across to him. He's holding a cup of he don't know if coffee or what. He saw the man press the cup gently on the lady face like he's trying to wake her up with gentleness. The lady opened her eyes slowly there's a hint of joy and sadness in her eyes when he saw her looked at the man. He tries to focus his attention to his work but for whatever reason he failed. He just curious what's the relationship of the two people sitting across to him. He stop his work. For the first time something caught his attention away from his precious work. He just watch the two of them secretly. As the guy sat beside her and talk to her casually like they really know each other. He can also hear the man scolding her with concern as how she overwork herself. When he saw her smile faintly he mesmerized. He already saw that smile before yet again he doesn't know when and where.

When the guy stood up, He ordered her to take a rest to the sleeping quarters or to his office, that gave him an impression that this two is more than just a colleague and it proves when he heard what the man last said.

"I may not be your husband anymore but I'm still your senior so that's an order. Be sure to obey me."

He observed the lady that stay sit there. Watching her as she enjoys the warmth of her drinks. After a while the lady stood up and began to walk away for who knows where. He just watched her until he no longer saw her. A sound from his phone snapped him from daze. He picked up his phone and answered it. After that call, he decided to go to his brother's office to see him. Thinking to go to the reception area and ask for directions.

He's about to leave when something caught his attention. In the same spot where the lady sat on a while ago, he saw something he knew the lady drop it unknowingly. He cross the distance and pick it up. It's a mini Lego doll. He studied it for a while when suddenly a rare smile appears on his handsome face. He remembered a girl way back then who's really like some stuff like this. A girl who is so dear to him but yet change a lot after 8 years of being separated.

When his phone rings again he subconsciously put the toy in his pocket and walk away to find his idiot brother. "Why aren't you replying to my messages?" He said angrily upon answering the call. He strides toward the elevator ignoring those eyes whose followed after him.

"Meet me at my office I'll be there in 15 minutes."

"Be quick.. You already wasted a lot of my time." He said. Hanging up the call not waiting for what his brother about to say.
